The pavement's cold and mean The streetlights are a friend of mine Between the bottle and the gutter I'm able to walk a straight line And in the blur of the highway In the headlights I'm blind And i'm walking home to you I'm sorry bout' my rattlin' bones And i'm walking home to you I'm sorry bout' my rattlin' bones Yeah i drank the rent money I must have spilled even more And i think my ribs are busted From the fight outside the liquor store With my apologies in order I'll be pounding on your front door And i'm walking home to you I'm sorry bout' my rattlin' bones And i'm walking home to you I'm sorry bout' my rattlin' bones Walk away man The cobblestones of the city Feel like tombstones under my feet Can't tell a cab from a cop car I'm spilling all over the street Oh babe i'm feeling rough Please don't crucify me And i'm walking home to you I'm sorry bout' my rattlin' bones And i'm walking home to you I'm sorry bout' my rattlin' bones I got friends in the shadows And friends back there at the bar Yeah i guess i hit the bottom But i love you with a sober heart And I'd be staggering home to you No matter how mad you are And i'm walking home to you I'm sorry bout' my rattlin' bones And i'm walking home to you I'm sorry bout' my rattlin' bones And i'm walking home to you I'm sorry bout' my rattlin' bones And i'm walking home to you I'm sorry bout' my rattlin' bones
